The clinic is designed specifically with patient-centered care in mind. Laboratory and ancillary services are decentralized, which means these services come to the patient. Nursing stations face exam rooms so nurses can observe patients more easily. To respect patient privacy, administrative offices and training spaces are on the second floor, away from patient care areas.
